Important Message from Byron Richards, CCN – Founder of Wellness
Resources, Inc.
Dear Friends,
As this e-mail reaches you, a Big Pharma-driven campaign is underway to
undermine your health freedom and deny your access to therapeutic
nutritional supplements. This plan is being implemented under the guise of
consumer safety, which is totally false. We must act now, today and
tomorrow, to preserve our access to therapeutic nutrition.
The bill in question is known as AER (Adverse Event Reporting)
legislation (HR.6168/S.3546) It will have the net effect of blaming the
debilitating effects of drugs, which kill several thousand Americans a week
and send 50,000 Americans per week to the hospital with drug injury, on
extremely safe nutritional supplements.
This is a Big Pharma ploy to shift blame and run its competition out of
business. The author of the bill, Senator Durbin (D-IL), receives the
majority of his financial support from law firms that handle Big Pharma and
biotech clients. Also, Senator Hatch (R-UT) has now become an enemy of
health freedom, and is one of the top recipients of Big Pharma money.
On December 6, 2006 (last night), the Senate version of this bill was
approved by voice vote. The bill was never debated and no testimony was ever
given. This is the work of Durbin, Hatch, Harkin, Kennedy, and Enzi. This is
government paid for by Big Pharma and entirely opposed to the will of the
people.
These horrendous Senators are now applying extreme pressure to the House.
IMMEDIATE CONSUMER ACTION IS REQUIRED TODAY TO SAVE YOUR ACCESS TO
THERAPEUTIC NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
There is a massive campaign by many in the health freedom movement to get
the message across and stop this bill in the House. YOUR CALL MATTERS.
This is what YOU can do to help:
1. Contact Congressman John Boehner, House Majority Leader, tell his
office you are strongly opposed to HR. 6168 and do not want Congressman
Boehner to put it on the House agenda (he controls this). We know he is
being heavily pressured by Hatch to put this on the House suspension
calendar, which must not happen.
John Boehner (Republican Ohio):
Washington DC Office - Phone (202)
225-6205, Fax (202) 225-0704
2. Contact Congressman Joe Barton, Chairman of the Energy and Commerce
Commission, and tell his office you are strongly opposed to HR 6168 and do
not want Congressman Barton to attach S.3546 to his NIH bill or any other
legislation. Note: Senators are holding up his NIH bill in the Senate and
want him to add their S.3546 to house version of the NIH bill so it is
passed as an amendment to his legislation. He must know that he cannot use
health freedom as a bargaining chip.
Joe Barton (Republican Texas):
Washington DC Office - Phone (202)
225-2002, Fax (202) 225-3052
3. Call Congressman Dennis Hastert (Republican Illinois), Speaker of the
House. Tell his office you are strongly opposed to HR 6168 and do not want
it to come up for a vote before the end of the lame duck session.
Washington DC Office - Phone (202)
225-2976, Fax (202) 225-0697
4. Call your own Congressional leader and do the same. To find contact

If you would like more information about this legislation go to

home page.
Once you are done calling, please fax your message as well. It is vital to
get the point across. Please pass this information on. Your help is greatly
appreciated.
Best in health,
Byron Richards
